'ERNEST ANDERSON, OF LONG BEACH, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO E. D. ANDERSON INC.,

OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF YORK.

REGEP'I'ACLE 0R BAG.

To all whom it may concer/a.'

Be it known that I, ERNEST D. ANDERSON,

a citizen of the United States, and resident of Long Beach, in the county of Nassau and State f New York, have invented certain y new anduseful Improvements in Receptacles 15. v on opposite sides of the receptacle will be ,ication. Y I

. The object of my invention is to provide o r Bags, of which the followingis a speciai'receptacle, such vas a bag,`made from a single piece of material, such as paper, which maybe rendered impervious to moisture either by waxing it on one or both sides, or impregnating it with wax or-the like, or both, wherein the two exterior walls in' a complete unfolded'and unitary condition, the walls intermediate said exterior walls being adaptedto be folded therebetween, other portions of the receptacle being folded Within and between said eX- terior walls whereby all the edges of the i Vsheet are drawn tothe top and adjacent to the mouth of the receptacle and substantially only vertical edge folds show on the exterior thereof. .The arrangement is such that the edges-of the receptacle at the mouth thereof may be folded ir such, manner as to y securely close -tho Same and the unfolded exterior Wall portions of the receplacle afs ford unbroken surfaces for folding at the mouth portion to effect protection against the entrance of moisture vinto the receptacle1 since a portion of one of such exterl )r walls 'may be folded over and inclose all of the other. interior folded portions of the sheet at the mouth.

Further objects and features of my in ve'ntion Will be more fully hereinafter set forth and then pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein, Figure 1 isI a face view of a blank or sheet adapted to be folded for the production of my improved receptacle;

Fig. 2 is a perspective View illustrating the blank or sheet partially folded in accordance with my invention; s Fig. 3 is a top View of the blank or sheet folded to form a receptacle, but the mouth` portion open to illustrate the-relative arrangement of the walls and folds thereof.

Fig. 4 is an end View of the receptacle:

Figs. v5, 6, '7 8 and 11 are sectional detz: ils illustrating different foldings of the Specification 0f Letters Patent Patented Mar. 16, 1920. Application led May 13, 1916. Serial No. 97,215. i

i material at the mouthportion of the recep- 1 (Fig. l) of suitable material, .such as y paper, which is adapted to be folded upon the crease lines indicated -by the dotted lines in Fig. l for the production of the receptacle illustrated. If any other shape f .re -ceptacle be desired the sheet or blank will be appropriately foldedv along required crease lines thereof. In the example illustrated the portions 2 ofthe sheet or blank will, when the latter is folded, constitute main exterior unfolded walls of the receptacle, and the 'portion 3 will constitute the bottom thereof. Portions 4. of the sheet or blank will constitute the ends or walls of I thereceptacle intermediatethe walls 2. At each of the corner portions of the blank the pairs of triangularly disposed portions 5, 6,

are adapted to be folded on the diagonal lines 7 t-o cause the corresponding pairs of parts 5, 6, to lap oi'fold against one another Within and lapped and concealedl by the main exterior unfolded. walls 2. The diagonal lines'? are shmvnterminating along the edges l", at 7a, at a point distant from the ad]acent edge la. is longer than wide, the mainv wall portions '2 and .the triangular portions 6 terminating` at the longer edges la o-f the blank, and the end portions 4 and the triangular portions 5 terminatingalong the shorter edges 1* of the blank. folded to form the receptacle or bag the parts L may be bent upwardly relativelyto the bottom part 3 While the pairsof corner portions 5, 6, are bent on the diagonal lines. 7 to cause such' pairs of portions to fold As illustrated, blank 1 I When the blank or sheet is to be relatively to one another, as Will be apparent from Fig. 2, which illustrates' thev partiallyfolded\.blank. By continuing the folding of the blank in an'upward direction the pairs of portions 5, 6, at each corner of the blank, may be folded so that one pair will be lapped along the outer wall 2, and the corresponding pair of portions 5, 6, will be lapped within thexglirst named pair, on one side of the bag, the pairs '6v Will be correspondingly lapped on the opposite side of the bag, the Wall portions 4L extending therebetii'een, in manner illustrated in Fig. 3, whereby an open mouthed bagis formed with the lapped portions, 6, along the inner faces of, within and lapped and concealed by, the main exterior unfolded wall portions 2. When the parts have been folded as stated'witli vthe blank or sheet longer than wide, and the diagonal lines 7 terminating at the points 7a dista-nt from the edgesl l, the edges 1b will be below or Within -the edges lZ1 of the portions 2,'6, as illustrated in Fig. 4, wherein the set up receptacle is Shown with its mouth portion drawn or pinched closed. f

In order to securely seal the mouth portion of the receptacle or bag, the lappingA portions thereof at 8 (Fig. Ll) may be folded or rolled, as illustrated in Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8, 1-0 and ll, whereby the marginal end portion of one of the walls' 2 may fold over and inclose all of the other marginal porti-ons at the mouth of the ieceplacle. As shown iii lfig. :'i the marginal portion ol one wall 2 .folded back upon itself, the,coi'respoi'id-Y ing extended portions Gare folded over such folded portion of said wall the portion 2 of the other wall 2 is folded over the other folded portions, and vsaid partsmay be lsqueezed or compressed forming an effectual closure. In Fig. 6 a-substantially corresponding folding arrangement for the mouth parts of the receptacle is illustrated', except that the extreme edge of the portion 2 isr folded between the adjacent portion of wall 2 and its folded end portion. In Fig. 7, a substantiallyv similar folding is aorded at the mouth of the bag .vitli a relatively sharp folding made at 9, with the edge poi'- tions, however, not folded bach-whereas in F ig. 3 the edge portions of the outer walls 2 are foldedback. In Fig. 1l I have illustrated a preferred form of 'folding the bag mouth, wherein the projecting lapped portions of the bag mouth are given a reverse bend or are set back at 10, whereas the ma-- terial may be firmly compressed, and the portions of the bag mouth extending beyond `the bend 10 are foldedY over at an anglepto the bag.

In any of the forms of closing the bag mouth set forth, an advantage will be found in that the main exterior unlapped and otherwise unfolded walls 2 will present uny,broken surfaces for folding over the mouth ofthe receptacle or bag, and thereby afford protection against the entrance of moisture into the receptacle or bag because one'of the outer unbroken walls folds, completely over and incloses all the other mouth portions, and the other of such outer unbroken walls being complete and unbroken within the fold further assists in preventing' the en-- exterior walls, said bottom, walls and cor-- ner portions being united together integrally, the exterior `walls being unbroken vand unfolded and inelosing said corner portions, the material at the mouth portion being drawn together and folded with a por! tion of one of the exterior walls inclosing the other mouth portions of the receptacle, the lapped mouth portions being drawn to-l gether and having a reverse bend, said portions" being folded relatively to the recep` tacles beyond said bend.
